Character Comparison

This term my reading group is doing a book study on the book Refugee. It is about three children in different parts of time, and they have to leave their homes because it is not safe where they are.

The activity was a character comparison. I chose to do it on Josef and Isabel. I wrote their character traits and put a circle over the ones they share.

Think & Respond Chapters 6-10

This term my reading group is reading the book refugee. This week we read chapters 6-10. Last week it was 1-5, I posted my think and respond last week too. In the think and respond I had to answer some questions, one of them was about allowing another family to escape with your family and if you should.

So far some very interesting things have happened in the book. Josef's father gets out of jail, Mahmoud's home gets blown up and Isabel and her family are escaping Cuba. I think Josef's father's suspicions about the Nazi's coming after him are true, which is sad because they are finally leaving Germany and they are so happy. 

Think & Respond Chapters 1-5

 

This term my reading group is doing a book study on the book Refugee. It is about three kids, Josef, Isabel & Mahmaud, who all live in different times but have the same goal.....ESCAPE!

We've been doing some activities around it and the one above is the most recent activity I have done. The activity I had was we were given an example of something that happened so far and we had to respond. Or we had a question relating to the text.

Anzac 2021

For the last couple of weeks we've been learning about Anzac Day. It's been really fun. I have learnt how to use the Maori Battalion Website. And I have learnt the meanings of some tricky words. Anzac Day is really cool to learn about.

Paddle Boarding

This term we have been doing a lot of work around water safety.

For this piece of work we had to choose a water sport to write about and I did it with one of my friends, Lucy.
